    Translation of humour with special reference to the cartoons in 'Leman' and other popular weekly humour magazines of Turkey

    No full text
    In this dissertation, the various strategies of humour translation have been analysed by taking various cartoons with speech bubbles from the popular Turkish humour weekly magazine Leman and other similar publications. Generally considered as an extremely problematic, sometimes next to impossible, task within the translation studies, humour translation requires and deserves special attention since, as it was explained in the related sections, it may unite or separate people within the context of one single joke. As we also have stated elsewhere in the text, the description of both humour and translation, as two separate concepts, are not available in certain and decisive terms. This is especially true for the concept of humour which also covers the areas of laughter, jokes, wit, satire, irony and many others which are all interchangeable with each other. This fact makes an all-round definition very difficult. We also tried to show that, the visual humour or the visual aspect of humour could be a valuable asset for a foreign recipient who genuinely wishing to understand humour products from a different and remote culture. We wanted to show, and to some extent share, that the cartoons, provided they are not strictly political or crammed with regional issues and accents, could be fathomed by an outsider with the help of a decent translation and an adequate amount of contextual and cultural background information. We have assumed, from the very beginning of this project, that the contemporary Turkish humour, particularly cartoons that are represented in Leman and other similar publications, was interesting enough to become a dissertation subject, particularly those with stock types or characters since they have the potential of becoming snapshots of a country which is still considered as alien (or other) by the West. As far as this writer concerned, the main points of interest concerning Turkey by the British public could roughly be summarised in two points: a bargain trip to the seaside during the summer season and some occasional football matches Manchester United plays against Turkish teams in Istanbul. Especially the latter always attracts heavy press coverage during and after a match. We wanted to show that there are other cultural aspects exist in Turkey as well and such aspects could be transferred to other cultures by ways of translation. The material we have chosen is both visual and prose at the same time and although they function as a unity, they also complement each other. It is proposed that, although a perfect translation is always a desirable concept in almost every field, the translation of humour is possible within certain frameworks. The visual side of cartoons, as in situation comedies, contributes immensely to the comprehension of the message, which should be considered as the most important feature of the joke. To this end, a variety of cartoons are selected from both Lenicyn and other similar humour weeklies and translated with an adequate amount of background and contextual information that provided beforehand. This background information also includes, as far as the material in question permits, a close analysis of the language and the subject matter. To provide a better insight for the reader, a summary of Turkish humour and humour magazines are added alongside a section on the issue of humour itself

    Weisfeiler and Leman Go Walking: Random Walk Kernels Revisited

    No full text
    Random walk kernels have been introduced in seminal work on graph learning and were later largely superseded by kernels based on the Weisfeiler-Leman test for graph isomorphism. We give a unified view on both classes of graph kernels. We study walk-based node refinement methods and formally relate them to several widely-used techniques, including Morgan's algorithm for molecule canonization and the Weisfeiler-Leman test. We define corresponding walk-based kernels on nodes that allow fine-grained parameterized neighborhood comparison, reach Weisfeiler-Leman expressiveness, and are computed using the kernel trick. From this we show that classical random walk kernels with only minor modifications regarding definition and computation are as expressive as the widely-used Weisfeiler-Leman subtree kernel but support non-strict neighborhood comparison. We verify experimentally that walk-based kernels reach or even surpass the accuracy of Weisfeiler-Leman kernels in real-world classification tasks.Comment: NeurIPS 202

    Social opposition and humour magazines: Leman magazine

    No full text
    As a master thesis, this study looks for the ways of stating social opposition in Leman, which is a weekly humour magazine. In this respect, firstly the theories about opposition, besides the historical development of opposition and humor in Turkey is studied. Aiming to shed a light on the journal?s understanding of opposition, the 185 issues which publish in the period of Anasol-M Cabinet are searched. The caricatures about the politics on the cover, the second and the third pages were analised in the mentioned issues. The first chapter of the thesis, which consists of three chapters, provides theoretical knowlegde on the opposition and the kinds of opposition. The second chapter provides information about the historical development of opposition and humour in Turkey. The changing daily life and social issues after 80?s are also enlightened and criticized in this chapter. The last and third chapter includes the analysis of the caricatures to examine Leman?s understanding of opposition in detail. In addition to the above chapters, I have completed my study with a list of cited works as a short bibliography. At the end of the thesis, it?s seemed that Leman?s opposition strongly derives from youth subcultures and lack of a certain political base. This study makes Leman which has not been studied up until now, familiar with the scholarly world. I hope, thus it makes asistance to the studies in this field.Bu çalısma, haftalık mizah dergisi Leman'ın muhalif tavrının niteligini incelemeyi, toplumsal muhalefetin, dergide dile getirilme biçimlerini arastırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çerçevede, öncelikle genel hatlarıyla muhalefet kavramı ele alınmıs, yanı sıra Türkiye'de muhalefet ve mizahın tarihsel gelisimi incelenmistir. Leman dergisinin muhalefet anlayısına ısık tutmak amacıyla, Anasol-M hükümeti dönemi boyunca çıkan 185 sayı arastırılmıstır. Sözü geçen sayıların kapak, ikinci ve üçüncü sayfalarında yer alan siyasal içerikli karikatürler ele alınmıstır. Üç bölümden olusan tezin ilk bölümünde, muhalefet ve muhalefet türleri üzerine kuramsal bilgilere yer verilmistir. Tezin ikinci bölümünde Türkiye'de muhalefet ve mizahın tarihsel gelisimi ele alınmıstır. 80'lerden sonra degisen gündelik hayat ve toplumsal sorunlar da bu bölümde aydınlatılmaya çalısılmıstır. Üçüncü bölümde ise, incelenen karikatürlerle birlikte Leman dergisinin muhalefet anlayısı çözümlenmistir. Ayrıca yararlanılan kaynaklarla ilgili bibliyografya da çalısmanın sonunda verilmistir. Tezin sonunda, Leman'ın muhalefetinin büyük oranda gençlik altkültürlerinden türedigi, bu tür muhalefetin ise saglam bir temelden yoksun oldugu sonucuna varılmıstır. Bu çalısma, daha önce hakkında herhangi bir çalısma yapılmayan Leman dergisini bilimsel olarak ele almaktır. Bu yönüyle, alandaki çalısmalara katkı saglayacagını umarı
